Creative Healing Practitioners Training

starts September 2007

The One year Practitioners Training in Creative Healing is designed to train and support you in structuring and holding the space for short-term groups and workshops (for normal adults).

Run by Claire Schrader  S.R.A.T. (DRAMA)  dramatherapist, playwright and director of Making Moves.  See www.makingmoves.net for details of her approach

Drama is a powerful medium. To work safely and supportively with drama requires the practitioner to hold the space, in order to avoid the pitfalls and potential dangers that the unaware can fall into. Holding the Space is perhaps the most important aspect of Making Moves groups and workshops, in providing a safe container through which people can liberate themselves from their inner restrictions through self expression and creativity.

You will learn:

•  How to create a safe space for participants of your groups and workshops

• How to structure sessions and create safe boundaries for drama

• How to hold the space so that your participants can liberate what is inside them  
  

•  The principles that underlie the healing effects of this approach
  

• Tools and techniques for facilitating potent change through working with creativity, mythology, archetype and metaphor
  

• Working safely with the “shadow”
  

• Tools in developing your intuition and following gut instincts

 The training will include:

• 4 weekends, 15 conference call telephone sessions, 3 one to one sessions

•  The four training weekends will be practical and experiential in and in which you will have an opportunity to hone and develop your facilitating skills and receive supportive feedback.

• The telephone conference call will cover the theory that underpins practice along with supervision of practice groups and workshops and support in all aspects of running sessions for normal adults

   

• Marketing techniques and resources for building a successful practice

   

• You will be able to advertise your groups/workshops through the Making Moves Website (for a small annual fee)
